Positively the worst legal experience imaginable. If I could give a minus star I would. My youngest daughter went to Bruce Haught for assistance with her disability claim. He had helped my older daughter - they both have genetic disabilities - so he was the obvious choice for my younger daughter also. She went through the long process to get to the point where she would have her hearing. All of the professional people who reviewed her case agreed she was disabled - but the judge decided she could "roll silverware in a restaurant" and she denied the case. Mr. Haught was as surprised by this as we were but he said we had choices. 1) We could appeal the decision but he did not work with appeals and we would need to get a new lawyer or 2) we could start over with him which would take another three years. We believed he was working in her best interest so we chose to stay with him. Three years later, as we are preparing for the next hearing, we asked his office staff if they had everything necessary for the hearing - (medical history, physicians recommendations, etc.) as we had been providing them with constant updates during this entire time and the young lady informed us they were only filing for three months disability. Needless to say that was a shock to us. I asked Bruce to call me and explain to me what was going on. It was at that time that he told us that when we did not appeal the first decision, that rendered all that previous history moot - in essence we "agreed" with the decision. NOT SO and when I asked just why we were only now hearing about this, his defense was "someone in my office should have told you." My response was NO - YOU are the lawyer and YOU should have made this clear to your client. The bottom line is that my daughter is still fighting for her disability and when I say fight that is what it is. She needed the disability so she could get the medical treatment - she can't work, so how is she supposed to amass a whole new history of medical treatment records? It's been an uphill battle for the entire family. My advise to anyone who has the misfortune of believing Bruce Haught has their best interest at heart is to be sure you get EVERYTHING in writing and make sure he THOROUGHLY explains the ramifications of any thing he recommends to you. My best advise is get another lawyer!

Bruce Haught handled my Social Security Disability clam. He and his staff did a great job. During my hearing with the disability judge, Mr. Haught proved to be very knowledgeable about specifics of my claim. I was so glad that I had retained him. I don't think that I would have won my case without him.
